IND vs ENG 5th Test Results

9:16 AM IST Right then, a series that began on 25th January has finally reached its conclusion on the 9th Match and what a five-match series this has turned out to be. Rohit Sharma receives the series-win trophy and walks to the podium where he hands it to the youngsters and they revel in the joy and pose for a team photograph, amazing scenes. We rarely see five Test matches being played but that's what made this one very engrossing and after Ollie Pope led England to a remarkable victory in Hyderabad in the 1st Test, things quickly got galvanized. India lost a few key players and handed out as many as five debuts throughout the series and all of them contributed to the comeback. Rohit Sharma led the side well and there were some memorable individual performances as India rampaged back to a 4-1 win. Both teams will be now away from international cricket for a while and most players will gear up for the upcoming Indian T20 League. We hope you enjoyed our coverage and until next time, take care and goodbye!

Mentions that when you win a series like this, you talk about runs on the board but it is equally important to take 20 wickets in a Test match and they came close in the first game after which they were able to achieve that feat and the bowlers did a fine job. On Kuldeep Yadav, he says that it was a long conversation every now and then with him and has the potential to be a regular match-winner and he has got something about him that everyone needs to accept and be happy about and the way he has bounced back after the injury is commendable. On Yashasvi Jaiswal, he says that he has a long way to go and has started off brilliantly and we saw throughout the series that he wants to put bowlers under pressure from the word go and that is something they want to encourage and there will be challenges ahead but he has come a long way already.

Adds that he is just focusing on the length and is trying to bowl on a good length and it is helping a lot not to think about what the batter is looking to go. Ends by saying that the credit goes to the batting coach who helped him a lot and even in the mental aspect.
